Odgers played college basketball and attended Simon Fraser University, where she received her undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology.

Odgers obtained a Honors and Masters level degree from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in 2001 and was awarded with the Terry Fox Medal [4] for overcoming adversity following a serious motor vehicle accident while traveling with the Women's Basketball Team at SFU.

Odgers completed her postdoctoral training in England at the Social, Genetic, & Developmental Psychiatry Centre with Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi, during which time she helped to create a 'genes-to-geography' data archive for 2,232 children from the Environmental-Risk Longitudinal Twin Study.
